Roger Federer (SUI)   6 6
Rafael Arevalo (ESA)  2 4


 Another day at the office for the Rog, who meets Tomas Berdych in the third round.


Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA)  7 6
Nikolay Davydenko (RUS)   5 3
 
 
Can't say I'm suprised. But I am SHOCKED!!!


Fernando Gonzalez (CHI) 6 6
Marin Cilic (CRO)       4 2

 
Cilic, fresh from a big win over Roddick in Toronto, couldn't bring it in versus the crafty Chilean. Gonzales meets Olivier Rochus next, who defeated Tipsarovic.


Novak Djokovic (SRB)    6 6
Rainer Schuettler (GER) 4 2


 Djokovic moves on to to face mikhail Youzhny. I expect one of them will win. Probably the one who wins the most games.


Gilles Simon (FRA)    7 6
Guillermo Canas (ARG) 5 1

 
Way to go, Gilles!! A rematch of this year's Indianapolis semifinal awaits.That and the adoration of millions of French people who suddenly lost interest in swimming.


Rafael Nadal (ESP)   6 6
Lleyton Hewitt (AUS) 1 2


 Nadal's 25 winners to Hewitt's 9 is all you need to know. About this match, not life in general.


In addition to the men's results, both Venus and Serena Williams won, which due to the absence of star power in the women's draw gives them the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals by default.
